Okay so at least I didn't do what I did with Livin' It Up On Top. That chapter took a month to finish and I also finished my essay for writing and I didn't start it until the day it was due so, if you can't tell, I'm awful at time management.

[Persephone]
I don't know about you, boys
But if you're like me
Then hanging around this old manhole
Is bringing you down
Six-feet-under
Getting under your skin
Cabin fever is a-setting in
You're stir crazy!
You're stuck in a rut!
Or you could use a little pick-me-up
I can give you what it is you crave
A little something from the good old days

"What are you doing?" Hades asked. Persephone just smiled.

[Persephone]
I got the wind right here in a jar
I got the rain on tap at the bar
I got sunshine up on the shelf
Allow me to introduce myself:

"Not gonna lie when I first hear the "wind in a jar" part, I was confused, but then I remembered that one part in Percy Jackson." Elizabeth said.

[Persephone]
Brother, what's my name?
My name is

[Company]
Our lady of the underground!

[Persephone]
Brother, what's my name?

[Company]
Our lady of ways!
Our lady of means!

[Persephone]
Brother, what's my name?
My name is...

[Company]
Our lady of the upside down!

[Persephone]
Wanna know my name?
I'll tell you my name
Persephone!

"That build-up was cool." Orpheus said, Eurydice nodded.

[Persephone]
Come here, brother... let me guess:
It's the little things you miss
Spring flowers
Autumn leaves
Ask me, brother, and you shall receive
Or maybe these just ain't enough
Maybe you're looking for some stronger stuff
I got a sight for the sorest eye
When's the last time you saw the sky?

"Been a while, I presume." Hermes said.

[Persephone]
Wipe away your tears, brother
Brother, I know how you feel
I can see you're blinded by the sadness of it all
But look a little closer and
Everything will be revealed
Look a little closer and
There's a crack in the wall!

"What?" Hades asked.

[Persephone introduces the band]

[Persephone]
You want stars? [company cheers] I got a skyful!
Put a quarter in the slot, you'll get an eyeful
You want the moon?
I got her too
She's right here waiting in my pay-per-view

"The moon is very pretty." Elizabeth said thoughtfully. Persephone nodded.

[Persephone]
How long's it been?
A little moonshine ain't no sin
Tell my husband
To take his time
What the boss don't know
The boss won't mind

"Really." Hades said. Persephone just looked at him and reminded him about their conversation during intermission. Hades nodded and looked away.
